This is one quirk of Summit that I've never gotten used to, is there any reason it needs to stay or be default behavior? On Sync (rip) I think it would just show posts from other instances from my own insance even if following links directly to a post on its instance.

There's a lot of UX annoyances that come from switching instances while viewing posts (can't cast votes or comment, have to wait to switch instances), so it would be really nice if there were some way to make this an optional behavior or remove it entirely.

I have noticed this too in recent versions. I don't remember the exact point it changed unfortunately, but it used to be almost instant and I am now seeing very long load times after clicking "view in my instance". I thought it was just something with my home instance.

I see the same thing loading messages, etc. I'd assumed the instance was slow, but maybe not.

I don't use summit, but why do you change instance? You can reply to a message using any instance that's federated with it, you don't need to use the same instance as the post. You only need one lemmy account, not one on each instance.

I'm not sure why the app does this, but instead of just taking you to a post normally when clicking a link, it does this

And if you want to interact with the post in any way, you have to click that button

The post is displayed on the post's Instance, I have to switch to mine
